and pleasure of welcome to this humble and simple blog of mine. Here, i will share a little about this one music element called INDIE music. Basically, INDIE music came from the words independent which refer to underground base bands and stand alone bands which create their own music with their own idealism and sentiment of music. In late 50's to 60's, the scene of INDIE music began when the big labels started to monopolize everything that they believed could make money. Elvis’ generation got a bit of a free ride which the music was so new, and the energy so unexpectedly that those in power had no idea how to tame it. Bands played on the radio and the records sold in stores all had a common theme, if not a duplicate sound. In fact, the history of indie music, however much fans want to deny it, is shaped by popular music as much as the shape of popular music is changed by indie artists. Typically, there have been three music “formats” that you can find on the radio, although the formats may change, there will always only be three kinds of music. In the 1960s, the big format was pop, a little bit of R&B, and rock ala the Rolling Stones. Therefore, when it came to new format of music such as Elvis and The Beatles, they named it as INDIE music. Here, they mixed up their music with such a good lyrics and idealism such as Peace, Anti-war and love. If the early ’90s was a catastrophe for the indie scene, the new millennium has been a huge success. It seems as though the big labels have poached every genre they possibly can, that bands are rejecting them en masse, and that the Internet has provided a way to get the music out to fans that has never before been attempted. The result is accessible, quality music in almost every conceivable drama. In this atmosphere, it has become impossible to identify music by its sound, or even by its sales. Best selling albums such as those put out by The Postal Service or Panic! At the Disco illustrate the new reality that is the indie music scene. Both bands are in fact pretty experimental in nature, with the Postal Service focus on electronica and Panic’s eclectic sound of every conceivable musical sound. There are still elements of soul, rock, and mellow listening to be found on the indie scene, and many bands popular through the ’90s (such as Collective Soul and Candlebox) are now on their own labels or established indie labels. So, till now, there are many INDIE bands did a very good music especially in INDIE platform such as Snow Patrol, The Postal Service, Arctic Monkeys, Paramore, God is an Astronout, Coldplay and many more. In Malaysia also, INDIE music became a very popular choice among teenagers. Butterfingers for example, played the INDIE music element into such a great phase in Malaysia's music industry. There are some other newcomers and bands in INDIE scene such as Hujan, Meet Uncle Hussein, Disagree, Oh Chentaku, Hijau, Plague of Happiness and many more. There are also several of INDIE bands from Indonesia which started to get Malaysian attention such as The Upstairs, Kertas, J-Rocks and many more.
